Ceramic heaters vs oil radiators

PAKE supply professional and honest service.

Heating a 30' C.  The oil filled heaters are great but a real power hog.  Anyone using the Ceramic heater?  I'm not up for the catalytic propane type.
Thanks, Pat

First a little something the Ceramic heater companies lie about.. Efficiency  "Up to 30 percent more efficient" or "Will save you up to 30 percent" or some such lie (NOTE number is "Thin air" been a long time since I paid attention to an add for one).

Electric space heaters. be they radiant. Ceramic. Oil filled. Hot wire forced air or _____ all have one thing in common .. They are 100% efficient.. VERY RARE anything is 100% efficient but electric space heaters ARE. only exception is if it glow and light escape via a crack or window (I use light bulbs for heat in some areas)  Why is this

Well there are only two loss vectors.. Most all losses are expressed as HEAT and that is the desired product so the losses are recovered. Even the fan .. it moves air. which causes friction and that is converted to heat..

THe other loss vector (At least for my light bulbs) Is escaped light.  (Very low loss there).

As contained light strikes dark surfaces it too converts to heat.

SO from a watts/comfort basis there is NO advantage to Ceramic or any other electric heater over a differnet electric heater

But the Ceramics are a WHOLE LOT SMALLER which is why I use them. One of mine (ALas no longer made this puppy is at least 20 years old) Even if it's full on I can pick it up bare handed and not get burned.. the others likewie but they are plastic cased not steel.  I'd not wish to do that with an oil filled less I was very careful about where I grabbed it.

&#; Oil filled radiators &#; Efficient and adaptable, they provide steady, all-day heating for larger spaces, making them ideal for main living areas.

&#; Ceramic radiators &#; Known for rapid heat-up times and flexibility in installation, they offer efficient and convenient heating, particularly suitable for smaller to mid-sized rooms or draught-prone spaces.

&#; Costs and heating performance &#; While oil filled radiators may have a higher initial cost, both types are equally efficient in terms of heat performance and running costs, with the key difference lying in if you prefer scheduled or ad-hoc heating.

&#; Aesthetics and design &#; Oil filled radiators offer diverse styles and orientations, while ceramic radiators boast a more sleek, uniform design.

&#; Installation and maintenance &#; Oil filled radiators require professional hardwired installation, while ceramic radiators can be DIY-mounted to the wall or made freestanding. Both are low maintenance with comparable warranties.

&#; Programming &#; Both come equipped with advanced features for precise temperature regulation, smart control and energy efficiency. Ceramic radiators often have recessed digital displays that may make manual programming easier.
